Viewing Notes

As others noted, this is basically an animated Giallo that mirrors the story of Selena with some differences. Beautifully realized, though it does require your full attention. Now I want to revisit MILLENNIUM ACTRESS, TOKYO GODFATHERS, PAPRIKA and track down Kon’s TV series PARANOIA AGENT.
